There's no reason the sender address needs to go to the mailing
list or be visable on the web, is there?

That is, the sender address could be stored in the PR database,
visable only to those who can change the status of a PR (I assume
they have some password protected web/e-mail interface).  When
forwarded to a mailing list it could come from pr-remailer at freebsd.org
or something.

While spam is a fact of life, in some cases we need to reevaluate
plastering an e-mail address everywhere just because we can.
